Back in the middle of April, we went down for the premiere of "Flag of My Father". I did a post about the filming of this back in November. Joseph's uncle directed and produced this Christian based film. It was REALLY GOOD!! Hopefully, it will at least make it to some theaters and it will definitely be on d.v.d. My parents went down with us. (mom and dad above)

They had the red carpets and everything for the actors and actresses in this film. This is joseph's parents walking the "red carpet". :)

Joseph was able to be one of the extra's and it was fun to see him in the film. (You had to be looking for him though!)

Me, Joseph, and my parents.

It was a fun experience! I'm excited for them and hope the film does well! We need more films like this. A good, family movie that brings a great message.

I'm seeing a lot of blue and turquoise eyeshadow, eye pencils, AND nail polish this year. Although, its all about how you wear the color. She is wearing the color without making it about the color.

Laura Mercier just came out with a new color for the spring called "Marina" and they are pairing it up with a deep bronze. Also, Essie nail polish just came out with their "Resort Collection" which includes two shades of blue.

This shows Laura Mercier's "Sun Drenched" Collection (Marina is the blue color that is showing in that palette-which is available for purchase individually as well.

Essie's Resort CollectionAlso on the nails....

An opaque grayish taupe on the nails has been a popular color in the fall and is also being seen this summer. (Above, in the resort collection, is a light grey).

Big Lashes

Eyelash extensions have definitely been popular. Everyone wants their lashes to be longer, and a great way to do that without having to pile on mascara is through lash extensions. At glo, we use a company called lavish lashes. They are attached individually with adhesive that won't ruin your lashes. They last typically about 3 weeks, and you don't need to wear mascara because they come black and curled already. ;)

Bronzed Skin

The best thing about bronzed skin? You can go light on the rest of your makeup. I love bronzed skin paired with a pink lip gloss and mascara.

Also, in this picture Kate has on a silver shimmery eyeshadow. When using shimmering eye shadows, its important to enhance your skin as well. Use shimmer to highlight to tops of your cheekbones to give you a rested, dewy effect.

These are a few things I have seen for the summer. I hope to post more soon. Also, someone had asked a while ago where they could get a clarisonic brush. I can either send it to you (free shipping) :) or you can get it online or at Dillard's.

I have been married to my high school sweet heart for 5 years. We have a sweet little boy named Asa, who was born on October 28, 2010. I own a cosmetic boutique called Glo, and love makeup and sharing my passion with others. I am now a full time stay at home mom, but still do wedding makeup on the weekends. Hopefully, through this, I can make some new "blog friends" as well as share new makeup ideas, my life as a mom, and any other things that come to mind. :)
